Consistency Meter

The consistency meter characterizes the viscosity of materials by measuring the flow resistance of fluids under specific conditions. The principle is based on rotational viscosity measurement or outflow time methods, and it is used for controlling the application performance of fluids such as coatings and inks, as well as monitoring production processes.
Selection
When selecting a consistency meter, consider the characteristic range of the material being tested to match the instrument's measurement range and rotor type. Pay attention to temperature control accuracy and measurement repeatability. Choose a portable or laboratory model based on the on-site working conditions, and ensure compatibility with industry standard method requirements.
